Papertrey Ink March 2012 Blog Hop Challenge

 For the month of March we wanted to focus on sunshine and the upcoming spring season.  What better way to do so than with a fresh color scheme of aqua & yellow.  Use the inspiration piece as a jumping point for your color scheme, pattern combinations, overall design or whatever else inspires your creativity.  We look forward to seeing your creations on March 25th! 

I really enjoyed making a card for this challenge. This is my entry:

I started with aqua mist cardstock and stamped the largest polka dots, from polka dot basics 2, in versamark ink and then heat embossed with white embossing powder.
 The hawaiian shores ribbon was tied into a bow and the ends left like the ones in the photo ( hard for a perfectionist!)
I stamped the sunshine sentiment, from the half & half stamp set, in aqua mist ink onto white cardstock which was die cut from mat stack 5 and used foam squares to add the harvest gold cardstock frame to the top. This card is for a friend who now lives in New Zealand and I'm also sending some Cadbury's mini eggs. I know she loves those!
Thank you for visiting my blog. I look forward to seeing everyone else's creations.
